Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sports drinks, and in particular to a sports protein drink with zero lactose or low lactose formula and process. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, growing awareness of health, and a deepening understanding of health, exercise and fitness are becoming a growing trend. Most exercise involves moderate intensity, but post-exercise fatigue can affect people's enthusiasm and reduce their performance. Therefore, the market for sports nutrition products targeting exercise fatigue is expected to grow. Protein is a key component of muscles and organs. During exercise, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in muscles are used as energy substrates. Therefore, supplementing with BCAA-rich proteins, or directly supplementing with purified BCAAs, is crucial for maintaining muscle health and strength. Muscle growth requires a large amount of raw materials—amino acids. These amino acids are sourced from the protein in our daily diet. Therefore, consuming protein-rich proteins, especially those rich in BCAAs, is crucial for enhancing muscle strength and maintaining muscle health. Currently, to reduce protein loss during endurance exercise, sports protein drinks are often used for quick replenishment. Sports protein drinks are made from plant nuts, fruit pulp, and soy, processed and blended, and then sterilized or aseptically packaged to create a milky beverage.

[0003] Existing sports drinks are mainly for replenishing energy, vitamins, water and electrolytes. They have problems such as excessive sugar content and single nutritional ingredients, and cannot meet consumers' balanced nutritional needs before, during and after exercise.

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a sports protein beverage with zero lactose or low lactose formula and process. Summary of the Invention

Raw material processing: soak, rinse, grind, and finely grind peanuts and walnuts; rinse, juice, and filter apples; and mix the resulting products. Select fresh, ripe, and intact apples, wash them, peel, core, and cut them into pieces. S2. Heating and mixing: The grinder processes the dried peanuts and walnut kernels into a paste-like state, and forms peanuts and walnuts with a delicate taste. Water, peanut and walnut nut paste, isolated whey protein, amino acid mouthfeel agent, and neutral protease are placed in a mixing tank for mixing and processing to obtain a delicate peanut and walnut nut paste mixture; S3. Sterilization: After homogenization, the slurry is heated and mixed and sterilized in a sterilization tank at a temperature of 140° C. After sterilization, the slurry is stirred to obtain a sports protein drink; S4. Finished product filling: The pH value of the beverage is tested before filling. If the test is qualified, it is filled with an automatic filling unit to obtain the finished sports protein beverage. The finished sports protein beverage is sterilized, cooled, and then coded and put into storage.

[0008] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that the cut apple pieces are pulped with water in a juicer, the pulp water is filtered to obtain clarified apple juice containing a small amount of pulp, and the apple juice is refrigerated away from light for later use.

[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: peanuts and walnut kernels are soaked in water, water first penetrates into the peanuts and walnut kernels, so that the volume of the peanuts and walnut kernels is increased, which facilitates the entry of water during boiling, thereby shortening the boiling time and reducing energy consumption; after soaking, the peanuts and walnut kernels are heated and boiled at a boiling temperature of 96-98° C., and the heating is stopped after boiling for 25 minutes; the boiled peanuts and walnut kernels are rinsed with clean water, and the peanuts and walnut kernels are completely peeled by rinsing with a high-pressure water gun to obtain peanuts and walnut kernels with complete grain shape and bright white color; and the rinsed and peeled peanuts and walnut kernels are roasted to enhance the aroma, and the roasting temperature is 135° C. and the roasting time is 45 minutes.

[0010] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: after peanuts and walnut kernels are mixed with a certain amount of water, they are first polished with a grinding wheel to form a milky white slurry, a centrifuge is used to remove peanut and walnut residues, and the water used for mixing is pure water, which is softened to remove metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in the water that are easy to denature proteins, and the water is mixed and stirred evenly in a material tank according to the formula.

[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: S2, the mixed peanut and walnut nut paste is homogenized under 30 MPa, filtered with gauze after homogenization, purified water is added to the filtered peanut and walnut nut paste, and after adding water, it is heated to 75°C, sucrose and honey are added and stirred evenly.

[0012] The further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: S3, the sterilization treatment time is 30s, the ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization temperature is 140°C, and the semi-finished beverage solution is homogenized twice under the condition of 25MPa.

[0013] A further improvement to the technical solution of the present invention is that: S4, after the product leaves the production line, it is stored in a constant temperature warehouse for 6 days to detect unqualified products. The product is inspected again after leaving the constant temperature warehouse. After passing the inspection, a constant volume tank is used to pre-fill to the standard liquid level during coding and filling. The pH value of the beverage liquid tested must be maintained at 7.0-7.1.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical advancements compared to the prior art: The present invention provides a sports protein beverage with zero lactose and low lactose formula and process. The formula comprises the following steps: rinsing boiled peanuts and walnut kernels with clean water, and completely peeling the peanuts and walnut kernels with a high-pressure water gun to obtain peanuts and walnut kernels with complete grain shape and bright white color. Under the action of a high-pressure water gun, gaps are formed between the peanuts and walnut kernels and their peels to facilitate peeling in subsequent processes, and help to fully enhance the volatile flavor of the raw materials, increase sweetness, remove bitterness, make nutrients more easily absorbed, and provide rich nutrition, a long shelf life, and a good taste.

[0015] The present invention provides a formula and process for a lactose-free or low-lactose sports protein beverage. By adding a neutral plant protein beverage stabilizer, white sugar, pectinase, neutral protease, oligofructose, and maltose, the neutral plant protein beverage has a good taste and is safe and stable. Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus, and B vitamins. Peanuts have the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach, moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm, and nourishing yin and regulating qi, showing a certain therapeutic effect on symptoms such as malnutrition and coughs. Peanuts have a hemostatic effect, can enhance memory, have anti-aging effects, and moisturize the skin. The unsaturated fatty acids in peanuts have a cholesterol-lowering effect, helping to prevent and treat arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. The pantothenic acid and niacin in peanuts can increase blood sugar levels and improve blood circulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
